2 discs, celebrating the 50th anniversary of "It's Arbor Day Charlie Brown" and the 60th Anniversary of "Charlie Brown's All Stars." "Arbor Day" comes in a 10" clear 45 RPM "baseball" LP, and "All Stars" comes on a special glove-shaped 45 RPM vinyl for RSD to celebrate the beloved Peanuts specials. "All Stars," the 2nd Peanuts primetime special following "A Charlie Brown Christmas" aired 6-8-1966. Performed by the Vince Guaraldi Sextet - Guaraldi (piano), Eugene "Puzzy" Firth (bass), Eddie Duran (guitar), John Coppola and Frank Snow (trumpet), and Lee Charlton (drums). "Arbor Day" was the 15th and final Peanuts special Guaraldi composed and performed. Guaraldi passed away on February 6, 1976, the day he recorded this wonderful music, at the age of 47. The Trio features Seward McCain (bass), and Jim Zimmerman (drums), who were with Vince when he passed away in Menlo Park CA. The special aired several weeks later on CBS 3-16-1976. Both specials were written by Charles Schulz, and produced by Bill Melendez and Lee Mendelson. "Arbor day" was directed by Phil Roman and Melendez and "All Stars" was directed by Melendez. The records were mixed and mastered for audiophiles, jazz lovers, and Peanuts fans everywhere. Clark Germain mixed "Arbor Day" at WonderWorld Studio, Vinson Hudson restored and mastered the records including "All Stars" and Sean & Jason Mendelson produced the records. The RSD edition includes a 6-page trifold insert with art from the special, liner notes by Sean & Jason Mendelson, and Derrick Bang (author of "Vince Guaraldi at the Piano"). The records are bio-attributed vinyl to reduce carbon footprint, with sustainably forested paper and in a PVC gatefold jacket and a recycled bag. In 2026, for every copy sold, LMFP will contribute $1.00 to the Arbor Day Foundation, with a minimum annual donation of $12,000 leading to the planting of one tree is a forest of need.
